Solution Focused Hypnotherapy
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a contemporary therapy linking the solution focused brief therapy model back to the hypnotherapy of Milton H. Erickson the hypnotherapist who inspired Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg. Solution focused hypnotherapy adopts practical, modern strategies that include the best of Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and direct hypnosis. Clients are encouraged to focus on what they want to achieve rather than dwelling on the problems. The emphasis is on paying attention to the present and preferred future rather than the past. Clients are asked to consider what would have changed if the problem had improved. This helps persuade the subconscious mind to consider new solutions to problems and to work towards them. Within the last ten years the number of hypnotherapists who have been trained in this approach in the UK has greatly increased.
